Police investigate hit-and run-in Alexandria

Fairfax County police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a vehicle involved in a hit and run crash that seriously injured a 16-year-old boy.

On Friday, Nov. 30, shortly before 7 p.m., police said they responded to the report of a crash involving a pedestrian at the intersection of Telegraph Road and Broadmoor Street.
